For our purposes, a typeface is a collection of related fonts.
We sometimes use the same typeface abbreviation for fonts with different supplier names, where we know (usually by inspection) that the fonts truly are the same. This helps conserve abbreviations.
Notes on specific typefaces:
ad
gm
ad is Adobe Garamond (with a
FontName of AGaramond). This is quite different from the
Garamond typeface distributed by Adobe, which is actually ITC
Garamond. (Garamond No. 3 (f3), Simoncini Garamond
(ig), and Stempel Garamond (eg) are still other
variations on the Garamond theme.)
lh
ls

ns
nt
tm
Times, TimesNewRoman, and
TimesNewRomanPS. Although this last has been used by other
foundries (e.g., Monotype) for a Times variation exactly compatible with
Adobe's Times, Adobe itself also offers it, so we must have
abbreviations for all three.
pi
pi, an
arbitarily-assigned three-digit number, a weight and (if necessary) a
variant. For example, mpi001r. Pi font 001 for one
supplier has nothing to do with pi font 001 for another.
Here is the table, from the file typeface.map. It is organized
alphabetically by abbreviation. Each line consists of an abbreviation
and directory name, possibly followed by PostScript FontNames
and/or a comment in roman. The FontName may be preceded by a
letter s and a :, as in b:Dutch. In that case, the
s is a supplier abbreviation, and we've used that abbreviation for
the given FontName from that supplier.
